It may seem like not much is happening at the moment but believe me we are working away and also waiting for some time to pass. Why?
STARPRO Supply and Demand
We introduced STARPRO as a fixed supply token to combat the issue of STARBITS inflation. Over time we have added more and more use cases for STARPRO.
As you can see from the price chart above this has caused a steady rise in the price. Slow and steady is what you want, not "boom and bust" like many cryptos!
We continue to add more uses for STARPRO without increasing the supply. Recently we decided to only list boosters and other cards required to progress for STARPRO only. We are working on something else that will increase the demand even more.
Music Promoter
This is the ONLY WAY to mint NEW STARPRO!
There is a threshold at which it becomes more profitable to use Music Promoter than buy from the market (as it is now). In theory this puts a floor on the STARBITS price regardless of the inflation. There are no guarantees of course but we hope this is the case. We get closer to this threshold every day and if we had not seen such a dramatic fall in crypto prices we would already be way above that threshold.
We get a lot of people telling us that we need to reduce the STARBITS rewards and increase the pack prices. I'm sorry but I do not believe this will solve anything. In fact this will make the game less attractive for new players and that is not what we want.
I am 100% committed to our solution of using STARPRO as outlined above. Could I be wrong? Sure! But I think it has a better chance of working in the long run than anything else I have seen suggested or we can think of.
Raves
These are being tested by players all the time and we are almost finished on the coding side (just the final reward calculations to completed and some improvement to the 'look and feel').
However we are not in a rush to put this live because we have been building the reward pool in such a way that it will be sustainable. As soon as we go live the reward pool will not grow as quickly as we will be paying out SWAP.HIVE to Rave participants. The longer we wait the larger the initial reward pool will be.
Player Numbers Decreasing
It is understandable that we are losing players at the moment as the HIVE price has been trending down and touched 25 cents just a week or so ago. I know I always say it is only a game and you should only play it if you enjoy it but a lot of people (understandably) are only interested in making money from it and everyone has a point where they are just not making enough to make it worth their while. We are hopeful that as the crypto markets recover and also with the launch of Raves that people will return but even if we end up with 1000 players we will continue to work on new features as we love doing so and we love the community!
A Lesson Learned
The main thing this bear market has taught us is that Rising Star needs to be self sustainable and not reliant on an ever increasing number of players.
Thankfully we have been able to achieve this by investing some of the profits from the first two years into various schemes that provide a regular income to cover our costs and provide slowly increasing rewards for Raves and other features we may bring out in the future (thank you HIVE witnesses for the 20% on HBD savings!).
Thank You!
Lastly I would personally like to thank the amazing Rising Star community for your support during this difficult period and we hope you agree with our vision on how to move forward.
Let's all RISE UP!
Jux.
I was scared that some bad news are coming... 😃
Thanks for this re-cap and it's good to know that the team is aware of the good and bad of the current situation...
This is a huge thing! And I think that it's possible to achieve this as Rising Star has some external revenues which are crucial for (slow) growth... Many games are based on hype, but I like the slow and steady approach as usually, it lasts longer... :)
Keep doing a great job!
I have picked this post on behalf of the @OurPick project which will be highlighted in the next post!
Yes it is possible. We already have the basics covered and slow growth is better than no growth!
Slow growth is a million time better than no growth. Because once you are in growth it's jus a question of scaling. Well done!
Scaling will be the bigger challenge but we will get to that in time!
Haha I thought the same when I read the title! I was like uh oh please nooooo...
But it was a great update.
I also agree completely about the game needing to be sustainable and it sounds like it's on the right path to that,

Thank you for the update, Jux.
It is nice to see a developer, who isn't in a rush all the time to put something new out just for the sake of it or to change algorithms all the time.
Rising Star has a stable, reliable feel to it. Personally, this is the most important thing.
Thank you for your support.
Nice update, @risingstargame! I enjoy playing the game because it is pretty easy to get my head around and I was able to start for free. It also doesn't hurt that I am making some passive crypto. Yeah, it's not very much yet. But when I consider the amount of time that I am actually putting in, it is just fine for me. I am hoping it will continue to grow and I believe that the actions you are taking will move that along.

I've had a really good time being a player! It's nice to see partnerships like https://www.kingofduels.online coming up. Don't worry about player counts. Most Dapps don't have very good player counts anyway. I couldn't find 50 dapps with 1000+ DAU.
BTW what's with this data: https://dappradar.com/hive/games/rising-star Stats are clearly wrong 😵 !LUV !PIZZA

As someone has also said that Rising Star has become part of our lives, I would like to say, part of our daily lives and day seems incomplete without playing it.
I haven't taken part in Raves, though, and planning to explore (test) it also.
Good luck to the team in the future endeavors.
LONG LIVE RSG.
Awesome news all around! I am so happy to be a part of this amazing community as Rising Star grows, both as a brand & an awesome game in itself. I am definitely not going anywhere. :)
I am glad also to hear now you're reaching that point where you see sustainability on the financial side. Not only for us players, but also for YOU. It certainly makes a life a little less stressful when you know some costs will be covered & can put more energy into doing what brings you joy!

Hi Jux,
thanks for all the workd with the game and building such a nice community. I appreciate all the work you, the team and supporters have done and will do in the future. I wil stay with the game until it ends wich should newer happen.
Thank you for being a part of it.
Thank you for the update! Sounds good to me :)

Keep it up Jux. I don't even know how much I'm earning in rising star. I'm just playing the game :)
That's great to hear as it means you are having fun which is the most important thing!
What about the milionarie card for other players? It's not really fair some have it and some can't anymore
Actually it has been shown by many players that you can earn more by spending a million STARBITS on cards and then running missions than you can if you were just running the Millionaire mission and with STARBITS being a lot cheaper than they were you are getting those cards for less than the current millionaires paid for their STARBITS.
Thank you! Do you have any article by any chance? Just to see cards and have an example, i do trust you
Tnx for info

we are the rising stars.... rise and shine with the stars!!
Good to hear that progress is ongoing.
I play from time to time but find the UI a bit random and hard to use. I would love to see an upgraded version with a smooth game design and lite accounts for new users to join hive through the game.
That's my biggest issue with playing as the game itself is simple but fun. I've never even cashed out a single star bit since I don't play it to earn. Just to progress.
Keep up the good work and hope to see lots more developments in the next couple of years. 👍
That's the way! The best way to start any business on HIVE in my opinion, and also one important "feature" this blockchain allows things to flourish in almost any market conditions. Slow and low can be very important for the growth and stability of the long-term market (especially in a bear market), and then when it pushes, everyone is going to be happy.
💪
I love your slow and steady approach Jux. The constant tinkering of other projects makes me so weary. 😁
Thank you.
I'm very fond of Rising Star, it has gotten me out of some financial and health problems when still had Hive at a higher price.
Those problems meant losing part of my collection but we still continue with the goal of rocking until become a big star, long live Rising Star.
Nice words Jux, "Let's Rise Up"!
Viva Rising Star! 🇲🇽

That really is amazing that it helped you in that way. Hopefully it will continue to provide a little something for many years to come especially as we move towards the next bull market.

I believe that rising star has everything to grow in this year of 2023 regardless of whether there are few or many players. I love this game so much and since the day I saw it, I never lost the will to play, always trying to test something new or a new strategy.
Everything will work out, the hive community as a whole is amazing! Congrats on all the effort you've put in!

Glad to hear that. Our aim is not to grow into a massive game but to provide fun and a little crypto to anyone who wants to play. As long as we have friendly community members like you then we will continue to do that.
Love the game and love playing it,
I came for the profits but stayed for the game.
keep up the good work!
Love that!
Hi Jux, I am very happy to receive this news about the game. I really think you made a very good decision and the most important thing is that the game will continue to have plans for the future, not like other games that disappeared from existence without a trace. This is what I like the most about this project and what makes it different from the others, I hope I can continue playing this great game for a long time to come, and I hope to keep on advancing every day...
I send you a big greeting from me! 🤟🔥
Thank you Mario. Yes we plan to be around for a long time!
Best game to play no matter when you start. If you focus on upgrade in game then it will be helpful in long term. Thanks for this information. ☺️

Risingstar Game makes me happy. I will always play. I'm also buying and collecting cards, and I'm trying to level up. Will try for Starpro property😍😍😍
I am glad it makes you happy. That is the most important thing!
Keep up the good work. Getting all this financial stuff right has to be hard. The hardcore players will keep going regardless of the price. Some of us just want all the cards, but I can appreciate some want to earn from games. At least $HIVE is gradually going up so other tokens may follow.

It's challenging but fun.
I love reading so much good news, personally, I have been enjoying the game a lot, it is my favorite and I have always thought that its current situation is very much influenced by the bear market and that at any moment it rises like the star it is, I think that all this time down, it has been perfect to grow our account. With an honest team working for the game, in the long run it will only end in success.
Cheers.
Thank you for the kind words.
As you say, i played to win cryptos, but now i play for fun. I like you vision about the game and i think that the most impportant things are:
If we have this,we just need time to see the game grow

Thank you. I sometimes think I am the only one that thinks this!
Good thing that you can cover the costs using the profit from other Hive Ecosystems. That's the beauty of Hive Blockchain. If I talk about the future, do you have a plan of burning Starbits to reduce its supply?
Music Promoter should burn more and more STARBITS as the supply starts to run out. It is the only way to mint new STARPRO so people should fight to get their share.
I hope the 20% HBD isn't the only "scheme"
No it isn't but whilst it is there we are making the most of it!
